Tongyi, a girl, came to Dongchang Mansion alone from Wudang Mountain. Although she did not encounter any danger with her superb acting skills, it was still quite difficult along the way.
Zhang Ren asked the kitchen to prepare some delicious food for Tong Yi. After Tong Yi had eaten and drank enough, they began to sit around and chat again.
At this moment, Tong Yi was holding Li Xue's sleeves with both hands, and his face was leaning on Li Xue's shoulder. It really felt like a sisterly relationship.
She raised her chin slightly and asked Zhang Ren, "Fifth senior brother, when are we going back to the mountain? There is nothing interesting along the way, so it would be better to go back.
Zhang Ren glanced at Tong Tong angrily and said, "It's really chaotic outside now, and it's not convenient for you as a little girl. You really should go back."
Tong Yi blinked and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, are you mistaken? I'm talking about us!"
If we want to go back to the mountain, let's go back together. Tongyi deliberately emphasized the word "we" very strongly. Zhang Ren, however, was unmoved and said, "Tong Yi, you used to have a restless temper. In the past, you used to run down the mountain with excuses every day, tricking and abducting people everywhere. Why have you lost your temper now?
"Hearing this, Liu Erbing became more energetic. Was he cheating? This is a fellow-minded person. He immediately said: "Sorry, sorry, we must discuss our experiences when we have time.
Zhang Ren glanced at Liu Erbing, and Li Xue said directly: "Shut up!" Liu Erbing immediately turned on the mute mode and pretended to be a good baby.
Tongyi curled his lips and said: "Fifth Senior Brother, that was all three years ago. I was young at that time. Now that I am a big girl, how can I still be a bastard who cheats and kidnaps me?" thing?
"Cheating and kidnapping seems to have become synonymous with Liu Erbing. When this word is mentioned, both Zhang Ren and Li Xue will look at him.
Liu Erbing felt that Tongyi was scolding him, but he had no evidence. He wanted to retort a few words, and he was also capable of cheating and abduction. But as soon as he spoke, he found that Li Xueyi was looking at him, and he could only He swallowed the words again.
Tong Yi continued in a coquettish tone: "Fifth Senior Brother, I like to go back to the mountain now, especially I like to go back to the mountain with Fifth Senior Brother.
I'm a girl, so you can safely let me go back to the mountain alone? Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "I will arrange for someone to escort you back to Wudang Mountain. Your safety can absolutely be guaranteed."
"How could Tong Yi agree? She ran away from Wudang quietly just to find Zhang Ren. Now that she finally found Zhang Ren, how could she go back alone?
If she goes back, Taoist Priest Yuan Yue and Yin Tongyi will definitely keep a close eye on her, and I'm afraid it won't be that easy to sneak out next time.
Tong Yi shook his head desperately and said: "Either we go back together, or I stay here with Fourth Senior Brother. I will definitely not go back alone.
"The situation outside is difficult to judge now, but Zhu Yunwen's imperial edict will come at any time, and Zhang Ren may become the representative of the negotiations at any time.
Negotiations like this cannot be completed in a day or two. How can Zhang Ren have time to take care of Tong Yi?
And to put it bluntly, everyone is happy if the negotiation succeeds, but what if it fails? I am afraid that Hangzhou, Dongchang, and even Damingfu will become battlefields.
By that time, Zhang Ren didn't dare to say that he could protect Tong Yi's safety 100%. Zhang Ren had a steely face, shook his head, and said, "No!
You must leave without delaying for a moment! "But Tongyi finally ran out, how could he be driven back by Zhang Ren with just a few words?
She started to say nice things non-stop, and pretended to be pitiful and wiped her tears from time to time, but no matter how she acted, Zhang Ren always looked determined to send her back.
This made Liu Erbing a little bit unable to stand it anymore, he said: "Zhang Ren, Miss Tong Yi is your junior sister after all, staying here for a few days is not a big deal, just let Miss Tong Yi stay for a few days.
Zhang Ren glanced at Liu Erbing coldly and said, "You know who I am! If there is another dispute between the imperial court and the Yan army, Dongchang may become a battlefield. By then, it may not be possible to protect itself. How could it be possible to protect Tong Yi?
It is also good for her to let her go back. She is safe and I can have less constraints. "Zhang Ren did not tell Liu Erbing and Li Xue the complete plan, but Liu Erbing was not stupid. He could guess that Zhang Ren's coming to Dongchang Mansion must be related to the war. After Zhang Ren said this, he Nothing more could be said.
Tong Yi frowned and finally used her big move. She grabbed Li Xue's arm and shook it constantly. At the same time, she said aggrievedly: "Sister, look at Fifth Senior Brother, he bullied me!
"Zhang Ren smiled coldly. He was very familiar with Senior Sister Li Xue. Senior Sister Li Xue's coldness not only refers to her as a person, but also to her attitude towards everything.
No matter what the crisis is, Li Xue is an extremely calm person, and her rationality is terrifying.
Therefore, according to Zhang Ren's guess, even if Li Xue recognizes Tong Yi as his sister, the senior sister will definitely advise Tong Yi to return to the mountain after a rational analysis.
But this time Zhang Ren miscalculated. I saw Li Xue gently rubbing Tong Yi's head, and a smile appeared on his face. This smile was like a flower in early spring, so bright and beautiful, adding bright colors and vitality to the newly warming earth.
Liu Erbing couldn't help but was stunned. He had liked Li Xue for several years and had been following Li Xue for more than a year. He had never seen Li Xue show such a bright smile.
Li Xue ignored Liu Erbing, who was drooling next to him, and said to Zhang Ren: "I know you can't follow Tong Yi back to the mountain now, so let Tong Yi stay.
"Zhang Ren began to wonder if there was something wrong with his ears, or if the senior sister had taken the wrong medicine today?
He couldn't help but remind: "Sister, if there is a dispute, it will be very dangerous here." Li Xue nodded slightly and said: "Of course I know, don't worry, I will be responsible for Tongyi's safety. Once If there is any trouble between the imperial court and the Yan army, I will do my best to escort Tong Yi away.
Tong was overjoyed, and a smile appeared on her face again. She said: "Sister, you are so kind. Sister, what delicious food do you want to eat?"
I have a lot of money, can I treat you to a meal? Li Xue stroked Tong Yi's head lovingly, shook his head and said, "But there's no need. This Full Moon Inn belongs to Zhang Ren, so he won't treat us badly."
Sister, just tell me what you want to eat. We will pay Zhang Ren’s account directly. "Xiao Jin at the counter couldn't help but shudder when he heard the word "hang". Although he had been mentally prepared, it still made him extremely painful when he heard the word "hang".
Tong Yi's eyes widened, as if stars were emerging, and she asked tentatively: "This inn really belongs to the fifth senior brother?
"Li Xue nodded. Tong Yi looked at Zhang Ren again with eyes seeking confirmation. Zhang Ren nodded with a livid face.
Ultimatum looked at Xiao Jin at the counter again. Xiao Jin could only show a smile that was uglier than crying, and nodded reluctantly.
After receiving a positive answer, Tongyi jumped up happily. He could eat delicious food without spending any money. Isn't this something that makes people happy?
Tong Yi was happy, but Zhang Ren poured cold water on her: "Why are you so happy, girl?
I haven't agreed to let you stay yet! Tong glared at Zhang Ren angrily and sat back down next to Li Xue.
Li Xue glanced at Zhang Ren with cold eyes and said, "Am I unable to speak anymore?
I already said I would protect her! "Zhang Ren naturally felt the coldness in Li Xue's words, and he couldn't help but shudder. Thinking back to those days, when he and Li Xue competed, he really learned a lot. Even when he thinks about it now, Zhang Ren still feels... My butt hurt, and there was a chill in my neck.
He didn't know why the always rational senior sister became like this. It was like the suppression of blood deep in the bone marrow, making Zhang Ren really dare not disobey Li Xue's wishes.
What else could he do? He could only nod his head reluctantly. However, he still told Tong Yi: "This world is not safe now. You must remember that you cannot be willful here and you must be obedient. If the war reaches here, you must evacuate with the senior sister as soon as possible.
"As long as she can stay here and face Zhang Ren every day, Tongyi's goal has been achieved. As for whether she is obedient or not, that is another matter later. She naturally nodded in agreement.
After dinner, there was nothing to do anyway, so Tong Yi naturally encouraged Zhang Ren to take her around Dongchang City.
Zhang Ren naturally agreed, and also invited Liu Erbing and Li Xue together. The four of them just wandered around the empty streets. Even if there was no one on the streets, Tongyi was extremely happy. In the past, she had mostly played in the town down the mountain or lied to people, but she had never been far away.
This time she ran from Wudang Mountain to Dongchang Mansion, which was the farthest journey in her life. However, she always had to be careful about bad people along the way. She couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep well, and didn't look good at all. Look at the scenery along the way.
Now that she has found Zhang Ren, with her mind relaxed, everything she looks at naturally feels fresh. Even the stone lions in front of other people's houses are beautiful scenery in her eyes.
The group of people walked and walked, but saw an extremely rare scene, because they saw a person.
That's right, it's a person. Nowadays, Dongchang Mansion has a feeling of being surrounded by soldiers. People basically don't go out. Even if they have to go out, they are in a hurry, but they actually saw a lost scholar on the street.
Isn't this a rare scene? When the four of them saw the scholar, the scholar naturally also saw the four of them.
For a moment, the scholar's face became much more joyful. He took three steps at a time and came to a few people. He raised his hands and said, "Xiaosheng Gao Wentai is right. I happen to be passing by here. I wonder if you can tell me where I can stay?"
